Chapter 426: Sword Heart Clear
The sword energy was as brilliant as the sun, breaking through the curtain and clouds all the way. In just an instant, it rushed to the extremely high place of the clouds, and then like a painting screen unfolding, shooting out thousands of brilliant sword streams, dancing like fan leaves in the wind, making the observers who heard the news cover their faces with sleeves, unable to look directly.
"Such sword energy, such momentum..."
Xue Jing and several Primordial Spirit True Persons were also awakened by the magnificent movement, and they all walked out of the palace gate.
Among them, one who appeared to be the eldest—an old Daoist in hemp robes and a reed crown, with hair and beard like frost—after activating his divine eyes and scrutinizing the scene for several rounds, was startled. He hurriedly looked toward Xue Jing, who was twisting his beard and smiling beside him, and said:
"Elder Xue, I boldly ask, is this the achievement of the sixth realm of Sword Dao?"
The old Daoist was named Wang Yun, the old master of the Spirit Response Temple. When Ban Su was supported by True Martial Mountain and swept Ge Lu with swords and soldiers, it was Wang Yun who broke through the barrier and swept across.
This person first used thunderous means to unite the Spirit Response Temple, Stone Dragon Temple, Divine Fire Sect, and other Yuchen Daoist lineages, making the Yuchen Daoist lineages unite their forces and no longer fight each other, making it difficult for Ban Su to break them one by one.
Afterward, Wang Yun put aside all disputes, went to the Mystic Realm Sect in person, and made a blood oath of essence with the Mystic Realm Sect. Since then, the two sides have formed an offensive and defensive alliance to resist Ban Su's sword edge.
It can be said that Ge Lu can maintain today's situation, Wang Yun should be the first merit, and he contributed the most!
And on the day Chen Hang personally arrived at Fa Liangcheng, Xue Jing and Yang Kezhen also went to Wang Yun's place. With such combined forces, no matter how capable Ban Su was, he was by no means an opponent and could only flee in panic.
Afterward, except for Shen Cheng and Wei Yuanzhong who were still leading heavy troops to stay in the Mystic Realm Sect to help the Mystic Realm Sect clean up the mess of fire evil, the large and small forces of Yuchen in Ge Lu had all come to Fa Liangcheng, gathered under Chen Hang's account, and listened to his orders.
Under such a general trend, even if Ban Su had been operating in Ge Lu for many years, his wings were full, and he had made many allies, he was ultimately unable to turn the tide.
Several times he had to engage in short-handed contact with Yuchen, and he was defeated, failing to gain half a cheap advantage.
And before that, he even failed to hold Qi Fang Kingdom and had to retreat behind North Pingshan, relying entirely on the great formation in the mountain to cover and protect, and Ban Su and others barely stood their ground.
But in the eyes of those with discerning eyes, this method is ultimately difficult to last long, and the breaking of the formation's pivot is a foregone conclusion.
When that time comes, Ban Su will have no way to hide and can only retreat to his lair and wait for death...
And at this moment.
After Wang Yun asked this question.
Xue Jing took his eyes back from the sky, nodded to Wang Yun, and smiled:
"True Person Wang's dharma eyes are correct. The so-called rising like the sun, washing away the accumulation, the wonderful image hanging, the essence light confusing the eyes, this is exactly the sign of the sixth realm of Sword Dao. It seems that our Yuchen sect will have another Sword Immortal in the future!"
"It really is the sixth realm..." Wang Yun's old eyebrows rose.
Although he had expectations in his heart, after hearing it truly, he was still shocked and sighed.
The sixth realm of Sword Dao is already the limit of performing arts, and taking another step forward is to operate the law!
And in this Xi Ping Land, there are also sixth-realm sword cultivators living in the world. That person is named Xin Chun, the sect master of the Fa Tong Sect of Bo Lu, and the son-in-law of the Xi Ping Land Lord. He is a heavyweight figure in the entire land!
A few years ago, when visiting the Land Lord in Bo Lu, Wang Yun had seen Xin Chun with his own eyes. That person's sword energy was sharp and domineering, as if nothing could be destroyed.
Although Wang Yun followed the orthodox immortal Dao path, and was a proper elder in the Primordial Spirit realm, with high virtue and reputation.
But even so, he did not have full confidence that he could defeat Xin Chun, this rising star, and suppress the sword in his hand.
However, even a talent like Xin Chun had to endure for hundreds of years after achieving the Primordial Spirit to finally cultivate the sixth realm of Sword Dao.
And the one sitting in the hall at this moment clearly had not achieved the Jin Dan for long, yet he had done such an astonishing move.
Even with Wang Yun's city mansion, he could not help but be briefly dazed, not knowing what to say for a while...
"This is the person of the Upper Sect, a true transmission disciple who has achieved the sixth realm of Sword Dao as a Jin Dan... It seems that the gap between the land and the heavens is indeed a layer upon layer of heavenly abyss!"
Wang Yun raised his old eyebrows and muttered to himself:
"But such a character, even if placed in the Upper Sect, is also a stream of flowing jade trees. I have seen examples recorded in ancient books. Some sword cultivators with special talents can understand the sword canon in the sixth realm and barely perform sword techniques.
I wonder if this True Transmission Disciple Chen... will be the person in the book?"
While Xue Jing was happy, Wang Yun was shocked, and a group of Primordial Spirit True Persons were speechless, Yang Kezhen, who was grinding a five-aperture strange stone with gale wind in the depths of the extreme sky, was also alarmed.
He gave a light "eh," greeted several disciples beside him, and waved away the whirlpool of madness with his sleeves, slowly descending with the crowd.
Afterward, seeing the sharp momentum of the sword energy rushing into the sky beneath the clouds, Yang Kezhen paused slightly, then clapped his hands and laughed, the sound rumbling, making the disciples' ears swell.
"Why is Master so happy?" a disciple asked strangely.
"I am fortunate, fortunate to have listened to Elder Xun's good words and came to help in person, and also fortunate for you..." Yang Kezhen scanned his disciples.
He is an elder who has broken through the nine-layer Primordial Spirit barrier, and he is highly valued by the two hall masters on the left and right in the Dao Record Hall, which can be said to be a bright future.
And Yang Kezhen put down his official duties, and like Xue Jing, he did not spare any effort, and brought his several proud disciples to help.
This is because, in addition to being optimistic about Chen Hang's future, it is also because of Elder Xun's persuasion.
Elder Xun is named Xun Yue, a virtuous Upper True Person of Yuchen. He has made many friends on weekdays, and even Yang Kezhen has received his kindness. Besides his reputation, Xun Yue is also a close friend of the former Daoist Master Junyao.
On the day Chen Hang was brought to Yuchen by Hou Wen with a Hidden Loneliness Flying Sky Talisman, Xun Yue fought with several elders to protect Chen Hang's life. Finally, the Hall Master of Lingbao came forward in person to eliminate this storm.
"Elder Xun is worthy of being a wise man, and although the Daoist is dead, the grace remains... It seems that behind True Person Chen, not only is there support from the great virtuous ancestors, but perhaps the group of people on Xiyi Mountain in the past also holds kindness toward True Person Chen?
In this way, even if Ji Fakai returns, what can he do? What does he have to fight with True Person Chen!"
Yang Kezhen thought of this, and his eyes could not help but shine. He scanned his disciples and nodded secretly.
Although he had many disciples, none of them could pass the barrier of Qiyun Mountain and become true Yuchen disciples.
The so-called master and apprentice are like father and son.
On weekdays, Yang Kezhen naturally worried about the future of his disciples.
If it was said that Chen Hang had achieved a first-grade Jin Dan and was accepted as a disciple by a great virtuous ancestor in the sect, it was extremely prominent.
But several true transmissions in the sect were not ordinary people, especially Ji Fakai, who had been at odds with Master Junyao, was even harder to deal with!
But seeing Chen Hang achieve the sixth realm with his own eyes today, Yang Kezhen also had more confidence in the future Daoist struggle, which was inevitably exciting!
"If True Person Chen can really enter Xiyi Mountain in the future, then I don't need to worry too much about your future..."
Yang Kezhen sighed in his heart, and then ordered in a serious tone:
"Hurry, hurry! Looking at this sign of wonderful image hanging, True Person Chen should still need a few days to leave the barrier. You hurry to serve in front of the gate, and don't let others disturb the True Person's cultivation!"
The disciples hurriedly opened their eyes and looked, only to see that beneath the clouds, it was already a vast expanse.
The cultivators surrounded the hut deep in the palace group, making it airtight, as if it were an iron bucket, making it impossible for them to find half a place to land.
A tall Daoist wearing a towel and a yellow cloud Daoist robe blinked hesitantly, showing difficulty:
"Master, many people have gathered below. Even if we—"
Before the words were finished, Yang Kezhen took the Ruyi and knocked it on the tall Daoist's head.
He glared at the disciple who was bowing and begging for mercy, and scanned the disciples again, hating that iron could not become steel:
"They are all people who have lived for hundreds of years. If cultivation is not achieved, it is fine, but don't they even know human affairs? This point of truth still needs me to spend my tongue to teach, get out!"
The disciples hurriedly took the order and went down the clouds.
Just when most of the cultivators were not focused and had their own guesses, the vast sword stream that was rushing into the sky faded away as time passed.
Until three days later, looking up at this time, all the strange phenomena of Qi light were gone. In the sky, only a thin white light remained, penetrating the sky, looking like a kite string, floating with the wind, turning up and down leisurely.
After a while, the white light suddenly bent, like a falcon spreading its wings, and shrank back into the hut.
As the sword intent fell into the acupoints, Chen Hang's magic power unfolded, like a mountain and sea, and his pupils returned to black and white, containing a bit of a smile.
"The sixth realm of Sword Dao, it is finally achieved..."
On the jade couch, Chen Hang sighed lightly.
The sixth realm of Sword Dao is already the limit of performing arts. As early as when listening to Weiling's preaching of Dao law on Qingri Island, he felt that there was a barrier in front of him, about to break but not yet broken.
And until today, he finally broke through that difficulty and successfully entered another world!
"The 'North Star Transformation and Demon-Subduing Sword Scripture' contains seven sword moves, from shallow to deep, not only containing the essence of sword transformation, but also many profound aspects of extreme sword.
No wonder Master specially found these seven North Star swords for me at the beginning. This book is truly a sword Dao wonder, which can be used as the foundation for the performance of most sword Dao practitioners..."
At this time, Chen Hang pointed forward, and a cruel intention suddenly burst out, filling the upper, lower, left, and right, as if even the spiritual energy filling the world was being crushed inch by inch!
Several sharp sounds like tearing silk came from the void, stinging the eardrums!
But this strange sign only lasted for a few breaths and then came to an abrupt end.
Chen Hang's eyes moved slightly, but there was no regret on his face, and he did not try again.
He just took out a crystal clear, five-colored auspicious cloud gathering Positive Yang Zhengyang Zhengyang Zhen Sha, and began to adjust his breath and regulate his Qi, filling the loss of magic power caused by his retreat.
There is a saying in the Dao book:
The Heavenly Dao takes dead Qi as a disaster, as a thing of evil, dead Qi solidifies the root, then the embryo is stagnant, the true scene is not guarded, and the form and spirit are lacking.
In the seven North Star swords, if an ordinary sword cultivator wants to cultivate the first sword move "North Dipper Notes Death", he generally needs to collect and refine the evil and dead Qi between heaven and earth, transport it into the body, and observe it from time to time.
By this, grasp the line of mystery in the dark, and finally understand the true meaning of death, turning it into his own use.
When he reaches this step, the sword cultivator can use a clear and pure heart to control death.
If the North Star is high in the sky, adjust the death disaster, and transport the scene in all directions!
And the reason why Weiling created "North Dipper Notes Death" at the beginning was also because he accidentally went to the underworld and witnessed the filth of the underworld, feeling it in his heart.
However, the method of collecting and refining the evil and dead Qi and understanding the true meaning of death through this is indeed a trick, but it is ultimately too troublesome and time-consuming.
Chen Hang naturally does not take it, and has another shortcut.
The "Yin-Erosion Red Water" and "Luo Dark Black Water" he cultivated are both sub-waters belonging to "Underworld True Water". The so-called dead Qi is naturally not lacking.
And that "true meaning of death", Chen Hang has died and lived ten thousand times in the True Dharma Realm and Sword Cave. He has long felt it in his heart.
It can be said that among the seven sword moves of the North Star, he is currently most compatible with the first move "North Dipper Notes Death"!
After achieving the sixth realm of Sword Dao, his cultivation of "North Dipper Notes Death" was already a foregone conclusion, but it currently lacks some grinding, and is not perfect.
"According to this progress, in a short time, I will be able to use this sword move. At the Dan Yuan Assembly in the future, it can be said that another backhand has been added."
Chen Hang thought to himself.
After half an hour, after the magic power was fully restored and the essence was full.
Chen Hang waved his sleeves and came to the main hall.
The attendants in the palace struck the bell, and Xue Jing, Yang Kezhen, and others who had been waiting in the side hall came to congratulate him, everyone's expression was joyful.
"The spirit is full, the vitality is strong... This True Person is said to have achieved the Jin Dan not long ago, but looking at his aura, it is more than a notch stronger than before the retreat, as if the Jin Dan power is about to be full?
Even if the Upper Sect person has the legendary Positive Yang Zhengyang Zhengyang Zhen Sha for cultivation, this is too terrifying!"
Amidst the excitement, Wang Yun was somewhat unbelievable. After retreating, he rubbed his eyes secretly, and could not help but be surprised in his heart.
Seeing Wang Yun's astonishment, Xue Jing smiled and stepped forward, saying:
"True Person Wang, the cultivation of the first realm of Jin Dan has no barriers to speak of. True Person Chen has Positive Yang Zhengyang Zhengyang Zhen Sha in hand, and the Jin Dan power naturally grows rapidly. What is strange about this?"
"Positive Yang Zhengyang Zhengyang Zhen Sha... Please forgive this old man for his shallow knowledge, and please give me some advice, Elder Xue."
Wang Yun was slightly startled, then shook his head slightly, and asked telepathically in confusion:
"Even if there is Zhengyang Zhengyang Zhen Sha that can increase Jin Dan power, the amount of Jin Dan power that the Jin Dan under the abdomen can absorb every day is always limited. This old man achieved a fifth-grade Jin Dan in the past. When traveling in the Three Worlds Heaven, I was lucky enough to get half a bucket of Special Yang Zhengyang Zhengyang Zhen Sha that can be used by Golden Cores.
After using one Special Yang Zhengyang Zhengyang Zhen Sha, this old man also needs to slow down for half a month before he can continue to take the next one.
This is like ordinary mortals eating wheat rice. After eating until the belly is round, it is inevitable to slow down for a while. Only when the belly is hungry again can it be eaten again. Forcing it will only damage the body.
And this True Person Chen..."
Xue Jing could not help but laugh at Wang Yun's metaphor, waved his hand, and said:
"True Person Wang's words are interesting. In my opinion, if achieving a middle-grade Jin Dan is like someone who knows hunger, then a high-grade Jin Dan is someone who doesn't know hunger. No, that's not right..."
Xue Jing pondered for a moment and continued:
"Like my Junior Brother Shen Cheng, who achieved a third-grade Jin Dan, but after using a Positive Yang Zhengyang Zhengyang Zhen Sha, he also needs to stop for three or four days before he can continue. The only person who really doesn't know hunger is the one who achieved a first-grade Jin Dan.
And a first-grade Jin Dan casts the two instruments, embryos all things, far beyond all grades. Those who can achieve a first-grade Jin Dan are very rare even in our Yuchen!
Looking at it this way, it is not strange that True Person Chen's Jin Dan power is full rapidly. If it is not fast, that is strange!"
Wang Yun sighed and nodded.
And while the two were talking, the cultivators also finished their greetings and returned to their seats.
Chen Hang glanced at it, seeing that although the hall was full, only Cai Zhang was missing, and could not help but smile, saying:
"True Person Cai returned to Cloud Mercy Grotto to ask for support before, but he hasn't arrived today. I wonder if there is any letter from Cloud Mercy Grotto?"
As soon as this was said, the hall, which was slightly noisy, fell into a silence, and most of the Ge Lu cultivators' faces were not very good.
"True Person, please forgive me—"
Yao Chu was helpless and stood up with a hard scalp.
And just as he was about to bow, he was interrupted by a blue-robed Daoist in a loud voice:
"Cai Zhang is truly a fickle villain, clever and flattering, not knowing the time, how can he be worthy of the True Person's concern? And Cloud Mercy Grotto is also not sensible. Under such a grand situation, it is still playing the idea of sitting on the fence, and it is also impure!
Please give me a subordinate force, I, Gan Yi, am willing to be the vanguard, take Cai Zhang to the court, and let him apologize to the True Person in person!"
"How can this be? True Person Cai has no major mistakes, and this move will inevitably make Cloud Mercy Grotto and us have a gap."
Yao Chu said anxiously: "Sect Master Gan, although True Person Cai has been at odds with you for many years, this matter must not be done, must not be done!"
"Cai Zhang did not contribute much to our side before, but he got a lot of benefits. Perhaps he still needs some face. He patted his chest and promised before the True Person that he would go back to Cloud Mercy Grotto and move all his family background to help.
As a result? But this person went back for less than half a day, and Cloud Mercy Grotto connected with the Western sects, some of which were still closely related to Ban Su.
With such actions, can he, Cai Zhang, really get rid of the relationship?
As for the gap..."
At this point, the blue-robed Daoist Gan Yi sneered even more:
"Now Ban Su has become a turtle in the jar. Although there is the protection of the North Pingshan formation, sooner or later he will be swept away by the True Person!
Under such a general trend in Ge Lu, what can a Cloud Mercy Grotto do? Even if given ten guts, Cloud Mercy Grotto would never dare to harbor resentment!"
Yao Chu was speechless for a while, not knowing how to speak. ===== CHAPTER 427 =====
